why just cities?......people in the “country” need electricity just as bad.....for refrigeration, the freezer, the water pump, etc......
I live out in the country. Have dial-up, well water and septic. Lucky to have a phone I guess. Can only get cell phone on certain parts of my property if I stand right and hold my hands right. Been without electricity for a while. Lost everything in the freezer and fridge a few times. When that happens it's a good time to use some of our canned goods. Our well is on electric, if power is out for a while, I have a water filtering system I use to purify lake water.
Didn't mean to put down all city folks.
